Chapter 190: Chapter 190: This Is the Price
Kyle Keaton wanted to pull away from July Quinn’s red lips, but unexpectedly, the woman boldly pressed the back of his head, deepening the kiss.
Kyle Keaton was frustrated and struggled desperately.
By the time he managed to break free from her control, his mouth was already swollen.
He couldn’t even bother to reason with July Quinn, hurriedly grabbing the ice water from the table and gulping it down.
The spiciness was overwhelming!
With just one kiss, he felt his entire mouth go numb.
But that wicked woman deepened the kiss.
Now his whole mouth felt like it was set on fire, burning and painful!
Even after finishing a large bottle of ice water, the burning sensation on his lips didn’t seem to vanish.
He had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen for another bottle of ice water and chugged it down.
After polishing off two large bottles of ice water, the burning sensation on his lips finally subsided a bit.
While Kyle Keaton sighed in relief, he heard the sound of tinkling laughter from not far away.
When he turned around, he saw July Quinn still wearing that alluring nightgown, standing not far away, laughing with delight.
"July Quinn!" Kyle Keaton gritted his teeth in anger.
He knew it, this woman deliberately dressed so provocatively, definitely with ill intent.
But he still fell for her tricks, ensnared by her seduction!
"What’s the matter, can the authorities set fires but civilians can’t light lamps?"
Stimulated by Ollie, she began aggressively learning Aphelion sayings today.
And now, she knew how to apply them practically in teasing others.
The crash course effects were solid.
"Is this for revenge from that night?"
Kyle Keaton immediately understood her intention.
"Does this compare in the slightest?"
The fury in those dark eyes almost tangible.
Because, in his view, his interaction with July Quinn that night was marital fun.
But July Quinn eating something spicy and then kissing him could only be a prank.
"In my eyes, the nature of these things is the same."
July Quinn retracted her smile, yet still remained alluring.
Especially those limpid, enchanting eyes, even if not smiling, carried a hint of aloofness yet inherently seductive, able to capture one’s soul with a mere glance.
Actually, compared to that night’s incident, July Quinn cared more about Kyle Keaton asking her if she was still angry today but not coaxing her, letting her continue being upset.
Liam Monroe said, "The one who falls in love first is the loser. She can live without me, but I can’t live without her!"
Seeing Liam Monroe love so humbly, July Quinn didn’t want to be that kind of loser.
Unwillingness and anger prompted her to think of this plan to punish Kyle Keaton.
"Remember, this is the price of provoking me without my consent."
After saying this, July Quinn directly returned to the bedroom.
Kyle Keaton was obviously furious inside as well, so he didn’t follow July Quinn.

Meanwhile, the dinner between Charles Quinn, Nina Quinn, and Justin Callahan was nearing its end.
At Charles Quinn’s suggestion, Nina Quinn proactively stepped forward to ask Justin Callahan for his WeChat.
Justin Callahan amiably exchanged contacts with Nina Quinn and instructed:
"I’ll be in Westmarch for a while, feel free to invite me to any events you have."
"No problem. If you want to go out, you can ask me too, since I’m quite familiar with Westmarch."
Nina Quinn looked up and met Justin Callahan’s playful and mischievous gaze, immediately lowering her head shyly.
Watching their interaction, Charles Quinn felt that the Quinn Family already had a foot in the doors of the Esteria elite circle.
So upon returning, he specifically instructed Nina Quinn, "These days, no matter what Justin Callahan invites you to do, you must go. Seize every chance to be alone with him."
"No problem."
Nina Quinn also felt she and Justin Callahan got along well.
Moreover, Justin Callahan’s apparent affection for her seemed more evident than Nathan Jacobs’.
Especially knowing that becoming Justin Callahan’s woman could mean she’d have her way in Westmarch, Nina Quinn couldn’t wait to open herself up to him.
But the problem is, Justin likes pure girls.
So, she must pretend to be coy in front of him.
The father-daughter conversation was yet to conclude when Sue Chase presented a fish maw soup.
"Nina, drink this up. Grandma has simmered it for over ten hours."
Sue Chase said, uncovering the lid of the soup.
As soon as the fishy aroma wafted out, Nina Quinn’s expression changed.
The next moment, she quickly pushed Sue Chase away, covering her mouth and dashed to the restroom...
